Release 41 - Stability update

A stability update for the Construct Master Collection. A lot of important bug fixes especially for those who have updated to Release 40, improvement changes of plugins and of all existing demo projects, and twenty-one (21) new demo projects for both the Mobile IronSource Collection and Google Admob Collection. New demo projects include each advertisement feature and sample implementations of the consent dialog with both advertisement collections.

The website is also slowly being added with new documentations for the newly released plugins.

Bug fixes:

• Google Admob
  • Test adverts toggle was inverted, showing live ads when test advert is checked.
  • Creating classic banners incorrectly sets the size.
  • Is banner showing condition is still true even if banner load failed.
• Mobile Background
  • New version was accidentally not included in release 40.
• Apple Sign-In
  • Minor expression corrections to its casing convention.
• Google Sign-In
  • Minor description errata in plugin properties.
• Mobile IronSource Collection
  • Cannot preview project when Admob Ads plugin SDK version is updated, unless the object is removed and added back again.
  • Test project description error fix.
• Mobile Dialog
  • The new update caused the prompt dialog action to launch the confirm dialog instead.
• Mobile Consent
  • No need to specify consent for ad-networks when using the User Messaging Platform.

Changes:

• Mobile Consent
  • No need to specify consent for ad-networks when using the User Messaging Platform.
    • Update the Mobile Consent plugin to remove the personalization checks, thus simplifying the plugin.
      
    • Do not manually specify the non-personalized ads property for User Messaging Platform since this will be redundant. Let the ad-networks use the SharedPreferences for the consent state. This will further simplify the implementation.

    • Update the Google Admob plugin Collection documentation.
